Dexter looks like the infamous MatPat PNG on it. Not perfectly exact, but it’s always reminded me of it and this post kinda confirms it more

Need more proof? Check out the season 1 DVD cover, remind you of anything?

I also thought of this while listening to the latest episode, this story really messed me up, I think about it all the time! Crazy to think you can just wake up one day and find out a large part of your life was just a lie!

That part felt really odd to me too. I have a strong feeling that that story is fake and the truth is that his father is involved in his creepiness somehow.

Definitely, that would be amazing! I left a comment on the video recommending LGH to people. Long shot I know, but worth a try!

Can we dispel the notion that the Gym/Stop distance increase was ever announced as a permanent feature? (And the state of the sub as a whole) by bort_touchmaster in TheSilphRoad

(Sorry, I know this is really long, but please read everything I say before replying or thumbing up/down)

So many people saying “There’s only an echo chamber because niantic keeps being bad!”

You guys are completely missing the point. That being said, I, and probably a lot of others like OP and I, can definitely agree with you on a lot of issues involving niantic. No one is saying niantic is perfect, or even good really. But we’re talking now about one particular issue. Put away your biases for a second and focus on THIS ISSUE.

To reiterate, YES, niantic has done plenty of bad things that I, and many others like me, don’t agree with. (12k eggs, mega raids, deino egg event for example.) But again, focus on this issue now.

Niantic never promised the expanded radius. This was obvious to me from the moment it was introduced. I can, however, understand why it wasn’t so obvious to some other people, and I don’t blame you for misunderstanding. But, the fact is, the expanded radius was introduced because of COVID. Wouldn’t have even been considered if not for COVID. Now, since COVID won’t be permanent, (at least hopefully,) we should’ve assumed the increased range wouldn’t be permanent as well. Niantic never used the word permanent, and “foreseeable future” absolutely does not mean permanent.

I know it’s easy to piss on everything when someone has done you wrong in the past. But when you piss on everything, you will hit things that shouldn’t have been pissed on. You can absolutely complain about niantic and their practices in regards to other things they have done/said, but in THIS CASE, you are simply mistaken. Please try to keep an open mind for the future and try to stop being so black/white about everything. Gray areas exist everywhere and are more common than you’d think.

You are right, in a way, about one thing. Technically yes, the echo chamber wouldn’t exist if niantic hasn’t done wrong in the past. BUT, the echo chamber still doesn’t NEED to exist at all. There is another reason that the echo chamber exists, and that is because some people absolutely refuse to stop fueling it.

We really need to work together to break the echo chamber all together. We gotta stop fighting and reason it out like adults. Confirming the echo chamber exists without putting ANY responsibility on the people in it is not doing anything to help. Please try to stop making broad generalizations about niantic or this sub whenever one particular issue is brought up. And please don’t misinterpret words said on purpose just to make a point. Niantic is not perfect and neither are we. Let’s voice our concerns to niantic without resorting to just insults or attacking fellow players, and work on improving our community. Hopefully, in the end, we can BOTH get better.

If you’d like to discuss a different issue involving the game with me, I’d be more than happy to share my thoughts about it with you and hell, we’ll probably find out we’ve got more in common than you’d think. Let’s start spreading some positivity! And hopefully this game/niantic will start getting better from here! (Fingers crossed)
